@On Tuesday last, when bill was presen-
ted to the County Commissioners for holding an
inquest, President Crout, calling to mind what
The UNION has lately had to say on this subject,
remarked "that such bills getting to be seri-
GUS matter in the way of county expenses, mas
much as inquests are always held, whether neces-
sary not" We are glad to see that the Board
has at last taken notice of this matter. The law
is very plain on the subject and every bill pre-
sented for holding an inquest should be rigidly
scrutinized and the case closely inquired into be-
fore payment is made. If the Board will only
take stand in this matter fewer inquests will be
held and fewer bills will be presented. Let it be
understood that no inquest will be paid for unless
it can be shown that the cause of death was in
volved in some mystery and that such proceeding
was necessary in order to get at the facts in the
case. When the Board adopts this rule check
will have been placed upon the inquest business
and the county will be the gamer thereby.

N9>T The County Commissioners will be en-
gagged this month in preparing the levy for 1887,
and this is q work in which taxpayers generally
much interested. It is the desire of the Board
to make the tax rate as low as possible and it is
hoped that the rate will be at least three or four
cents less than it was last year, when it was sixty
seven cents on the hundred dollars. Even this is
low, as compared with number of other counties
in the State, Init it might be made, with rigid
economy, still lower, and we hope the Board will
cut down wherever it is possible without injury
to the public service. The tax bill is always a
hard one to pay with the average farmer, and
this is particularly the case just now, when the
prices he obtains for his produce is so low as to
give him very poor return for his labor. Let
the tax rate be low it is possible to make it.
